Hometime Plus 21/7 National Fleet: Anyone have experience or details?

I am almost positive you will have to slip seat the truck, most big companies want that if you want more than 3 days off at a time consistently. I can't see a company like Roehl letting you take that truck home for 7 days, let alone let it sit in a freight dead-zone like Florida.

I hope you plan on pulling reefers, and even with those it is sometimes very, very hard to get freight out of Florida from July through early October.

 

why dont you read the post before putting a smart ##### comment. hes flying to florida not driving. My goodness this forum has became something else

 

im at central. but ya roehl has apus. its a good company from what i seen. i applied but didnt get in roehl. got accepted 6 months later for local work. turned it down. trucks are nice too. inverters im sure they do but company has to install it.

 

I did read the post, and assumed he would be taking the truck home by the location he lists. No company is going to fly you home every week for your hometime. Maybe before and after orientation but that is it. At least that is what is looks like he is suggesting. And I was not being sarcastic at all, you are the one who instantly got disrespectful with me.

He WILL have to slip seat, that I am 99% certain of.

 

No sarcasm intended here, but please do enlighten me on "the good old days of this forum", back in 2006. And how "this forum has become something else" since you became a member in Nov 2012. Not to brag or anything, but I only had 3 years and a few hundred thousand miles experience in 2006...

 

I have never heard of a company flying you back and forth home on your off time.Double check on that info before you decide. Something does not sound right.

 

Roehl paying to fly someone back and forth from home to work? Ya right. They might fly you to orientation one time. But every time you go to work and back home? They are about as cheap as they come. You have to fight to get detention time, parking, and some tolls paid. Now they are limiting inverter time and making drivers avoid toll roads to save a little money even though it costs the driver time and money.

 

This is from the job description on the roehl.jobs website.

"When you join this fleet, you'll be flown to one of our terminals in the Midwest, where you'll drive for three weeks and then you'll be flown back for your week of home time. We will pay for your flights, baggage fees and transportation to and from the airport in the Midwest."

If you go there and put in a Florida zip code (I used one for Orlando) this job choice comes up.
